Application filed May 20, 1912. Serial No. 698,491.

To all whom may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM H. JONES and KATE W. JONES, citizens of the United States, residing at Neenah, in the county of Vvinnebago and State of Wisconsin, have jointly invented a new and useful DishlVasher, of which the following'is aspeciheat-ion.

Our invention relates to 'a kitchen utensil for use in private faniilies, hotels, boarding houses, restaurants, &c.,' and consists of a dish pan, or vessel having a cylindrical form, straight sides, a flat bottom and open top, its bottom being secured to a flange which is fitted to be revolved upon a vertically arranged shaft or spindle, the inside of the pan, aside from said flange and its centrally arranged boss, being devoid of any mechanism or obstruction, whereby space is provided for the dishes and utensils to be washed, and the object of the invention is, to provide a dish washer which has few pa1ts,.is low in its cost of construction, is easy to be operated by a woman or child, and that does not require more labor to care for and keep in a. sanitary condition than it does to wash thedishes singly in the usual manner in which they have been washed, and the {invention is shown in the accompanying drziwing, in which,

Figure 1 is a vertical section of the dish fwasher pan, and a side elevation of a stand upon which it is supported. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a smaller pan and a modified stand upon which it is supported. Fig. 3 is a plan of the stand shown'in Fig. 2. Fig. i is a plan of one of the legs of the stand shown in Fig. 3, showing its foot turned bottom side up. Fig. 5 is a top view of the dish pan. Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the spindle, upon an enlargedscale, upon which the pan is revolved. Fig. 7 is a vertical section of the lower part ofthe pan and showing a different method of attaching a supporting flange thereon from the manner shown in Fig. 1.

Similar numerals and letters indicate like parts in the several views. 1

The numerals 1 and 2, indicate stands upon which the pan 3, is mounted for revolution. The stand 1, is an ordinaryfour legged stool, which is adapted for supporting the larger sizes of the machinesi of which usually three will be required for supplying the. demands of the public, and 2, a cast metal tripod stand "for use with the smaller sizes of pans in a sink or upon a table. Many families of two to six persons require a small dish washer that can be used upon a tablepor in a sink, and for this purpose it is essential that a supporting stand is provide upon which the pan can be revolved, having suiiicient weight, but not enough to betoo heavy for the operator to handle easily, of large circular area for stability in operating it, and one that will furnish a suitable base. For supplying this requirement, the stand 2 has been devised. The objection to-using the tripod stand with the larger sizes in a sink or upon a table is, that it brings the handle 4 at the top of the pan too high for the operator to work it easily. This stand is provided With feet 5,

of which there may be threelor more in which rubber plugs 6 are inserted into bores in the feet, whereby the metallic stand can be used in a sink or upon a table Without scratching or defacing the sink or table. A spindle 7, is fitted to the bore 8 in the tripod, where it is secured with a nut 9, and extends upward, its upper end may be any suitable form but is made preferably in the form of the frustum of a cone as is shown at 7, in Fig. 6.

The dish pan consists of a cylindrical vessel 3, having a flat bottom 12, a handle 4, by which it may be revolved, and a flange 13 M13, secured to the bottom, the flange having a boss 14, and a bore 15, into the boss for receiving the spindle. The spindle is to be made of the standard angle of the boring ends of the twist drills of commerce with its extreme point cut off suiflciently for providing acenter upon which to support the spindle in the lathe while turning it, and the bore 15 is made with a standard ground drill. This flange may be secured upon the upper surface of the bottom 12,. as in Fig. 1, with a flange 16, underneath 7 it for strengthening the pan bottom, with bolts 17,

passing through both the flanges and pan bottom. The flange is preferably secured to the under surface of the pan and bolted thereto with bolts 17, as in Fig. 7. An a d vantage in'securing the flange to the pan bottom below, instead of above it is, that the weight of the dishes in the pan around the flange boss, will bear downward upon the sheet metal bottom and have a tendency to form a space between the bottom and flange for the accumulation of sediment and in time produce leakage between the bottom iiii he gs 565%; the i suitable nunibei: of times.
